Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber patch cable utilizes multi-mode OM4 fiber, optimized for short to medium-distance data transmission with low attenuation. The duplex design incorporates two separate fibers for bidirectional communication, enclosed in a single jacket for streamlined handling. The cable is constructed with stranded fibers and Physical Contact (PC) connectors, which enhance durability and minimize signal loss at connection points.
The connectors are precisely terminated: one end features two LC male connectors, and the other end features two SC male connectors. This configuration supports standard fiber optic interfaces commonly found in switches, routers, and servers. The cable does not include shielding, as fiber optics are inherently immune to electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for environments with electrical noise.
Key Product Advantages
This cable combines robust construction with practical features for dependable network performance. The riser-rated OFNR jacket ensures compliance with fire safety codes for use in plenum spaces and vertical risers, providing peace of mind in regulated installations. The Physical Contact (PC) connectors offer superior optical performance by reducing back reflection and insertion loss, which is critical for maintaining high data integrity.
Durability and Reliability
Stranded fiber construction enhances flexibility and resistance to breakage, while the lifetime warranty underscores long-term reliability.
- Stranded fibers for flexibility
- Physical Contact connectors for low loss
- Lifetime warranty for assurance
Compatibility and Ease of Use
Designed for broad compatibility with network devices, the SC to LC interface allows seamless integration between equipment with different connector types.
- SC and LC connector compatibility
- Yellow color for easy identification
- Supports network devices and panels
Deployment / Use Cases
This fiber patch cable is versatile for various networking scenarios. It is commonly used in data centers to connect switches to servers or storage arrays, leveraging the high-speed 10 Gbit/s capability for efficient data transfers. The SC to LC configuration is particularly useful for adapting between older SC-based equipment and newer LC-based devices, simplifying upgrades and mixed-environment deployments.
In enterprise networks, it serves as a reliable patch cord for telecom rooms, network closets, and equipment racks. The riser-rated jacket makes it suitable for vertical runs between floors or in riser shafts, meeting building code requirements. It can also be employed in surveillance systems, medical imaging networks, or any application requiring stable, interference-free fiber optic links over short distances.
Data Center Connectivity
Ideal for high-density patching in server racks and network switches, supporting 10 Gbit/s speeds for backbone connections.
